I’m a Ph.D. Student at the department of linguistics and literature at the University of Basel, specializing in the study of social interaction within the disciplines of Interactional Linguistics, Conversation Analysis and Ethnomethodology. Since May 2025 I’m a member of Lorenza Mondadas Team, who is also my supervisor of my thesis. Since October 2025 I am also a member of the Hermann Paul School of Linguistics (HPSL). 

In April 2025, I completed my Master degree in “Sprache und Kommunikation” (Language and Communication) at the University of Mannheim. My thesis, which was supervised by Prof. Dr. Florence Oloff, focused on Voice messages on WhatsApp particularly TheInternal Structure of Voice Messages by segmenting and identifying communicative patterns relevant for the Overall Structure of Voice Messages. In November 2025 my thesis was awarded by the Stiftung Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft of the University of Mannheim.

My doctoral thesis is part of the SNF-funded project “Everybody speaks about the weather – An EMCA approach to weather in social interaction”. Working on various outdoor settings such as camping, my dissertations’ interest lies in how people practically address, reason and talk about weather in situ, within social interactions, particularly in changing and extreme weather situations. The project aims to cast light on the detail of situated practices escaping until now to mainstream studies in this area. It therefore contributes to new conceptualizations of social interaction itself, as situatedly sensitive to the material, ecological and atmospheric contingencies of its context.
